The Woolies Guide to Home Fragrances: Scents, Candles & Diffusers
Your home is your sanctuary; a place to unwind after a busy day. When it comes to creating an inviting space, scents can make a space feel like your own personal haven.
From scented candles to diffusers, here's our guide on how to choose fragrances that will make your home smell amazing.
TIPS TO DECORATE
Candles
Whether you are looking to add a cosy ambience to your home or set the mood for a home spa day, candles transform your space into a relaxing escape. Scented candles have been shown to improve mood, alleviate stress and help you sleep better. Candles also add a beautiful glow and complement your home décor.
Diffusers
Not only will a diffuser make your space smell good, it also brings a beautiful, calming energy to your home. Essentials oils are dispensed into the air, releasing soothing scents in your space. And because there is no need to worry about naked flames, diffusers are a great option if you have children and pets around the home.
Scents
TIPS TO DECORATE
Now which scent to choose for your candle or diffuser? Scent choice will vary according to mood or occasion and the room where you want to place the candle or diffuser. Opt for lively fragrances such as Sandalwood in the living room and subtle citrus-based scents such as Bergamot in the dining area. For the bedroom, you want to create a relaxed atmosphere – Vanilla, Jasmine and Lavender have calming benefits. The bathroom should feel fresh and clean; zesty scents like Geranium and Mandarin are the perfect choice. For an even more intense burst of fragrance, choose diffusers and candles with matching scents.
